Instead, diverse assessment tools would be adopted to accurately and comprehensively measure learning outcomes, it said.

This would alleviate academic pressures on students and allow for greater scope for developing their skills through continuous, interim assessment.

The MoE is set to update its student performance assessment policy as part of its ongoing efforts to develop the education system and enhance the efficiency of measurement and evaluation tools to meet academic development requirements and accommodate individual differences.
